By the end, both groups had lost about the same amount of weight,

weight.

Which is precisely the PROBLEM I had with Atkins. After six months I
entered
a six month stall, and have only broken that stall by switching to a
low-calorie diet.

Did you increase your carbohydrate intake, as required by Atkins, during
this period? Did you find your critical carbohydrate level for losing?
What most people do is keep eating at 20-30 grams of carbs per day, which
is not what Atkins advocates. Did you exercise? Also, calories are
always important, regardless of what "diet" you follow.
